Answer: 24 ÷ 3
Step-by-step explanation: You do 24÷3 because he has a string that is 24 inches long and if he wanted to divide it into 3 equal pieces . You would get 8 inches long for each piece (8x3) or (3x8)
I am setting the week hourly rate to x, and the weekend to y. Here is how the equation is set up:
13x + 14y = $250.90
15x + 8y = $204.70
This is a system of equations, and we can solve it by multiplying the top equation by 4, and the bottom equation by -7. Now it equals:
52x + 56y = $1003.60
-105x - 56y = -$1432.90
Now we add these two equations together to get:
-53x = -$429.30 --> 53x = $429.30 --> (divide both sides by 53) x = 8.10. This is how much she makes per hour on a week day.
Now we can plug in our answer for x to find y. I am going to use the first equation, but you could use either.
$105.30 + 14y = $250.90. Subtract $105.30 from both sides --> 14y = $145.60 divide by 14 --> y = $10.40
Now we know that she makes $8.10 per hour on the week days, and $10.40 per hour on the weekends. Subtracting 8.1 from 10.4, we figure out that she makes $2.30 more per hour on the weekends than week days.
Answer:
sure with wat? there is nothing and which subject is it math im really good at math
(hope this helps can i plz have brainlist :D hehe)
Step-by-step explanation:
If X is between P and Q, then PQ is the whole line segment and XQ and XP are line segments that add up to PQ. Therefore, you can make an equation where XQ and XP add up to PQ.
XQ + XP = PQ
(3k) + (7k - 2) = 6k + 18
Combine like terms.
10k - 2 = 6k + 18
Add 2 to both sides.
10k = 6k + 20
Subtract 6k from both sides.
4k = 20
Divide both sides by 4.
k = 5
Plug 5 for k into XP.
XP = 7(5) - 2 ⇒ 35 - 2
XP = 33
